thats actually a bit of a misnomer ....... derasa, squamosa, and hippos do better in the sand than on the rock so it seems as though they do better farther away from the light.....in the wild they are actually found shallower then croceas and maximas, so in theory they should do fine with more light....they are also a lot more tolerant of water quality.....they make great "first clams"....the only drawback of derasas and squams is they get huge.....
